Whether constructing a new facility or renovating a building lobby, the role of Planning Design and Construction is to ensure that University design and construction standards are met and  oversee the entire process. Duties include developing/coordinating a project design, generating an estimate for that design, and collaborating with all campus constituencies to ensure the delivery of the project does not interrupt campus logistics. Any project, big or small, is required to be managed or approved by Planning, Design and Construction to insure Butler University Standards are upheld and campus facilities are a cohesive living, learning environment.

A new construction project will originate from capital or strategic visions and is categorized as a brand new facility. Planning, Design and Construction plays a crucial role in the new construction process by managing the project for Butler University, as well as acting as the owner representative of the university. For any new construction project, numerous university community members will be involved to insure the building will meet the needs of the current campus, and the future campus.

For large renovation projects, the PM acts in a management role overseeing the process and the budget for the entire project. For smaller renovation projects, the PM is directly involved in the design, estimating, FFE specification and purchase, and construction delivery of the project. A renovation project can include, but is not limited to, paint, carpet, drywall, doorways, electrical needs, data needs, furniture needs, etc.

The Project Manager will act as a resource for the department wishing to purchase new furniture by guiding them through the purchasing process, as well as connecting them with furniture vendors approved to work with Butler University.
